The Hot Band




In 1974 Warner Brothers records agreed to sign Emmylou Harris to a recording deal and asked her to "get a hot band", which she did by persuading James Burton , Glen Hardin , John Ware , Rodney Crowell , Hank De Vito and Emory Gordy to form The Hot Band. Though the members changed over the following decades (due largely to various members achieving fame and embarking on solo careers), Harris kept the band together into the early 1990s . During the late 1970s , Bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs was a member of the band. The Hot Band was finally disbanded in 1991 , when Harris formed a new backing band, the all acoustic Nash Ramblers.
